I’d leave that one Rick. That is what we always referred to as a false. It’s also called a beefsteak. Some say you can eat them but it’s one I will not.

The one foraging page I found says there’s three different types of beefsteak type. Only one they consider edible and that’s after all kinds of boiling or some thing to get rid of toxins I guess? I always figured if I saw them I’d probably stop them in the ground LOL
Yesterday and today could be the last bowl full for us...unless I can talk her into Michigan one more time.
first oyster mushrooms of the season for me. I actually found two small clusters of these two weeks ago on the same log, but those were already too far gone to eat. you can see the dried up remnants of the first bunch in the second pic.
first Chanterelles of the season. tons of buttons. gonna be a good year if we have adequate rain. I better thaw out a chunk of venison loin. 
Our rain has been extremely hit or miss almost drought like in spots....first Chanterelles of the season. tons of buttons. gonna be a good year if we have adequate rain. I better thaw out a chunk of venison loin.

oyster mushrooms from the land that time forgot. never seen them so big. two or three days past their prime, but still good. drying up on the edges, but no bugs on them to speak of. seems like the bugs really do a number on them sometimes. that bottom mushroom is the size of a dinner plate, my pocket knife sitting on it for scale. got a nice pretty bunch of Chant's and the best of these Oysters at my place today. come on rain!
Inspired but let down. Summer/fall shroom ing is more enjoyable to me I believe just because I find more but it's dry as a popcorn fart. About kicked one lonely shroom walking out of the woods. 0 poisonous found.
